I am now 2 years from my first retirement. Maybe my only retirement but I might go back to west and finish working for three years (which would complete a 2nd retirement). I should be set in retirement without having to touch my 401K.
My buddy had the 2nd season archery hunt. We went a few days early and ran into great bulls at water in the mornings. We hunted near Reserve. We also hunted by the airport. There were elk in Rancho Grande every night by the lakes. A lot of people were hunting water at night but we watched a...
I have been on that unit many times. I always try for the archery or muzzleloader tag. There are big dear all over the top during those seasons. Once they move down it becomes a much harder hunt. There are huge deer there. Unless you have a ton of time to scout the week before season, you...
I have a dead air mask. Unless I am using a super high velocity round, it is amazingly quiet. If I am using something like a velocinator, there there is a slight first round pop.
It is quiet enough that if I am in the garage with a standard velocity CCI round my wife can’t hear it in the...
Just a suggestion. For not a ton (guess it depends on your definition of ton) more, you could have the local HT gun guru p_ham build a custom gun for you. He and I have traded emails and his prices are/were very reasonable. Just sayin!
Probably a little TMI but…
I had a prostatectomy in 2013. I did a ton of research and had a actual surgeon do the procedure vs the robotic. I had mine done in Denver. The Dr had done over 4000 when he did mine. He explained a surgeon can actually feel cancer while doing the surgery. He...
More from Alabama turkey season. Cool little box turtle out and about in the 80 weather.
I did see a snake and almost had a heart attack. We were moving into a set and I did a Quick Look for snakes before sitting down. Apparently, I didn’t look good enough. As I was about 2/3 of the way...
I had that tag a few years ago as well. I saw tons of elk and had a lot of opportunity. I did see a local guy shoot a big bull with a rifle (over three hundred yards and 5 shots in less than 30 seconds.). It was an absolute crazy thing to watch with my son. If you hike, you can find good...
I have drawn two elk tags and one deer tag in 24 years I have been grateful for all of them. I have met grate people out in the field and have had awesome hunts.
